15 Well, if you include hotmail (which doesn't do threading of any kind)
16 you might be getting close.

18 On the other hand, if you surveyed the people who actually read this
19 list, my guess is that the majority are using software that pays
20 attention to the references header. I typically use thunderbird, and it
21 does, and as a result this thread appeared hijacked.

23 I wish I could keep it from merging identical subjects into the same
24 thread. On rare occasion I get emails with no subject from family and
25 they end up buried in my inbox under another email with a similarly
26 useless subject line...
